I seldom leave home without one. The only time I did, I got caught being cold 17 out of 21 days!!!

While riding home through Ohio from the RA, I discovered the service centres sold Easy Passes Transponders for a $12 deposit and then it cost an additional $15, of which 10 goes towards your toll fees, once you activate it. Monthly fee is $0.75. Since it takes a couple of days to full activate it, if you do decide to get one, get it on the way to the east. It works on toll roads in most of the northeast states from Illinois through to Maine and south to North Carolina.

Living in IL, you should be able to get one locally.

Even though I can pull coins and bills out with my gloves, I just got tired of that exercise and picked on up last week.

Cheers!

My wife and I are in the planning stages of a trip to NS and tentatively planning for the first week of September. So, we may be riding through while the Rally is going on. We're watching the weather and will only make the trip if it looks like it will be fairly decent. Our schedule is somewhat flexible so we can move weeks. What we are limited on is total time. So we are planning to trailer the bike from NJ to Maine near the border and set out on the GSA once we get in the area. We are currently looking for a spot to park the car and trailer. I think I'd prefer to leave them on the US side just to reduce any hassle crossing the border.

Hopefully, if the stars align we will get to meet up with the Rally attendees at some point. We looked at the 2012 photos and it looks like you know some of the right places to see.

Anonymous book?

Don't count on predicting maritime wx more than a day or three in advance...

Tom, email me any time (saltyfogriders@gmail.com) regarding your plans and we'll work something out for your travels in NS. - Bob

On Sunday I meet with Bob and Mary in MA as they were headed to the RA. I bought two Salty Fog T-shirts.
Mary - your artwork is great and the shirts are topnotch. It was a pleasure meeting both of you and look forward to going to your Salty Fog Rally.

We just got home. Great that you found us out on Cedar Swamp even though your technology made it a bit more challenging. We look forward to the two of you joining us in September! - Bob

Now back from the RA and actively preparing for year 6 of the Salty Fog Riders Rally. Visiting (and partying) with many Salty Fog alumni over the past four weeks has been relaxing and fun but now we 'hit the floor running' to make year six even more enjoyable for participants (now really guests as well). Additionally, our Salty Fog Riders shirts have been enthusiastically received by both riders and non riders and have just about sold out. More being planned.

Today the temperature in Larry's River is only two degrees cooler than Miami! This year it looks like we will have two new options in Larry's River: 1) Mackeral fishing in the bay (hand lining) and 2) a tour of an off shore fishing trawler (not confirmed yet).

Shortly we will be posting The Menu . Some say that it is impossible to leave hungry.

Also this year PayPal looks like it may be operating for us. More on that later.

So, stay tuned. We still have room for riders wanting to attend but it will be limited to no more than 25. Come and relax at our Homestead and then participate in a leisurely paced tour of north-east Nova Scotia. Email us at saltyfogriders@gmail.com if interested or if you have any questions at all.

We look forward to seeing old friends again this year as well as some new riders joining in on this very relaxing, well fed and fun 500 mile/six day touring journey at a price unbeatable anywhere in Atlantic Canada!

Stay tuned for further information about food, events and places. As stated earlier in this thread: September 2nd (or, come early if you want to be part of the relaxing events on the Early Arrival Day of Sunday September 1st) and final ride day of September 6th.

This year we have connected with a local Larry's River Fisherman/Hunting Guide to offer, at a modest cost, a fishing/sightseeing option for those attending the rally. Jig lines (the old way!) for mackerel in Tor Bay and/or venture a bit further into the ocean's edge to catch both mackerel and pollack ( aka Boston Blue Fish). Go for the fish, the experience and great photo opportunities. The boat is an active lobster fishing boat with lots of room. Bring back the catch and we'll BBQ them up right nice. - Bob
